7. In the special sense of religious faith, revelation informs us more particularly of spiritual facts which man cannot know of himself, that he cannot discover by means of his senses, and of which the knowledge is given him by God or by his messengers in direct word or by inspiration.

Considered from this point of view, revelation implies absolute passivity. One accepts it without examination, without discussion.
